Sat, Dec 2 @ 9am — Clean up day around tennis courts and park

/in , , /by

On Saturday Dec 2nd starting at 9am, we will be attempting to get the area by the tennis courts cleaned up.  There is trash on the tennis courts, large limbs in the area, and bushes and small trees that need to be removed. Our goal is to make the area easier to maintain.  A team of us improved the fields under the power lines earlier this summer (removed overgrown brush and ground several stumps) which has made maintaining those areas much easier and less hazardous too.  The goal is to do that for the area back by the tennis courts. We will need the following:

  • A couple of trucks with trailers (preferred) to make runs to the landfill with debris (bushes, tree limbs).
  • A couple of chainsaws to handle larger limbs and small trees.
  • A few axes to help with chopping down very small trees.
  • Rakes and tarps.

Thank you!

VGCA owns nearly 7.5 acres

Did you know that Village Green Community Association (VGCA) owns approximately 7.5 acres in our neighborhood? On that land we have a clubhouse, pool, basketball court, playground equipment, park benches, picnic tables, grills, and split-rail fencing along the neighborhood cut throughs in the inner loops.  These 7.5 acres add to the property value of all our homes and provide much needed green space in a city that is seeing that shrink. We are a volunteer run organization who perform a lot of the maintenance and upkeep on our property. 

VGCA membership dues are very important for the neighborhood as a portion of it pays for items and services that are not donated or must be fixed by skilled workers.

The VGCA membership drive will be starting soon…remember to support VGCA by joining and possibly volunteering some time. The 2021 VGCA Membership form can be found here:  https://vgnn.org/join  

 

Sun, 8/2 @ 3pm: VGCA tennis court and surrounding areas clean up

/in , , /by

On Sunday, Aug 2 beginning around 3pm, we will be attempting to get the area by the tennis courts cleaned up. If you can come out to help that would be very much appreciated. Shoes pants and gloves are recommended as it’s quite overgrown and some poison ivy has been spotted out there. We hope to see many of you there. Bring shovels, rakes, garbage bags, and gloves to help. Weedeaters, chainsaw, hedge clippers, blowers, and lawnmowers might be helpful too.
